Looks like it's head for Port Charlotte. Oh the humanity.
The track that is showing up on the FSU package believe it or not on a solid percentage of the models shows a landfall in Collier County as a possibility or Dade county moving either NE or due N once on land. A few others are showing landfall in Tampa and going NE inland. 2-3 others don't let the storm near Florida and pound the Bahamas. Then we have another track that takes Ivan across Florida...out to sea..and into Cape Fear, N.C. in less than 120 hrs.
I live in Port Charlotte, it hasn't been a fun month! One thing I can say, "I don't like living in interesting times!"
I just realize that boring is better!
